[WSBAPT] Art appraisals, estate administration

[Philip N. Jones]

If the appraisal will be used for estate tax purposes (federal or state) it needs to be done as of the date of death.  An experienced appraiser should be able to do that, even if the appraisal is prepared several months after the date of death.  For example, the appraiser might disregard very recent sales if a sudden uptick has taken place.  Or maybe the market for that particular artist has not changed much in recent months.  Either way, I’m betting your appraiser can do it.

Hi all -

Does anyone have experience handling art appraisals during estate administration? If decedent was a well-known local artist, I'm assuming his art would appraised according to the market at the time of the appraisal, not necessarily as of his date of death if the appraisal took place several months later (not sure how what would work anyway).

Any referrals are welcome! Thanks so much.


Warmly,
Rachel
